spring-webmvc is vulnerable to Path Traversal
58
Medium Risk
This Affects:
spring-webmvcTL;DR
spring-webmvc XsltView does not adequately limit the stylesheet or document path used during view rendering. With a broad /** mapping and no explicit view name, a request can reach local files or remote resources, enabling SSRF and possible code execution through XSLT. Applications that pin the view name are not affected. The patch restricts path resolution used by XsltView.
Who does this affect?
You are affected if you are using a version that falls within the vulnerable range and XsltView is used with a /** mapping that renders a view whose name is not explicitly specified.
Background info
spring-webmvc is vulnerable to Path Traversal in versions 0.0.1 - 7.0.8.
How to fix this
Upgrade the org.springframework:spring-webmvc library to the patch version.
